Berner Bär: Jean-Claude Galli becomes deputy editor-in-chief
Jean-Claude Galli is returning as deputy editor-in-chief of the Berner Bär. Galli already worked for the Bernese people and event newspaper from 2000 to 2007, most recently also in the role of deputy editor-in-chief.
Over the past three years, Jean-Claude Galli has held various positions at Ringier Switzerland, according to a press release issued on Thursday: from 2007 to 2008 as editor of the People section of Sonntagsblick and from 2008 as editor of the People section and the Bern local edition of Blick am Abend.
Galli will take up his new position on 1 September 2010, when the Berner Bär will be published on Tuesdays as a weekly newspaper with an optimized circulation of 100,000 copies. At the same time, the Berner Bär will undergo a slight redesign. According to the press release, the editorial team, which has been strengthened with the addition of Jean-Claude Galli and is headed by Matthias Mast, will focus its reporting even more strongly on the most important events in Bern with previews and reviews. As before, the focus will be on the people of Bern, whose appearances the Berner Bär will report on every week in a colourful, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes polarizing way.
